I found this video to be the most inspiring video i have ever seen when i found out walter desire to succeed was so great and his humble spirit it motivated me to be like him in all of life . There is not a more fitting tribute to this great man and i would recommened this video to anyone, even if you dont know about football or walter payton it teaches invaluble lessons , it is priceless .

I was so excited when I received this video. Rushing home from work to watch it I was captivated for the duration. As soon as it finished I rewound it and watched it all over again. This is the best video biography's ever, a must for every Bears/Payton/football fan.

I have literally watched this video 35 times and I can never seem to get enough. Every time I watch it I come away with more insight about Walter himself. Growing up in Chicago I came to know and appreciate Walter on a local level, but since his death I have come to appreciate him more and more. This is a must see video if you need inspiration or an uplift.

In it you'll not only find Walter greatest runs, dives and jumps, you will also find a piece of legend, a charismatic human which range of influence ran far off football. This video is great because it's such a strong advocate for a sport sometimes underevaluated. Along with the incredible runs, stiff arms or Td's only Payton could make, you'll find a unique positive and winning attitude for every young player to watch. But 50 mins, that's short !!

This is my 13 year-old son's first year as a running back. I wanted something to fire him up and to give him a positive role model in this world of "selfish, greedy athletes". This was the ticket. He watches it every week before the games. His second and third efforts on the football field have become second nature because of Walter's never-quit attitude. This was more inspirational than I ever expected. I feel it is a must-have for every football lover's video collection. God bless Walter!

Untill now i've only seen him in the music videoclip "Superbowl Shuffle" and his first and only Superbowl appearance. Man, i've been rewinding the video a lot times to view it once again. It gets me pumped up everytime viewing it. He's a bull with a grace of an antelope. Now i understand why he's such a legend. Powerhouse stuff!

This is a video not just for Bears fans like me (who will have tears in their eyes from watching the incredible replays) but for any sports fan. In essence, this is Walter's autobiography, recorded on video. It captures, in an all-too-brief 50 minutes, his rise from an 11th-grader who had not played organized football before to a record-setting NFL player. His desire and his work ethic are models of behavior for everyone.

Walter Payton was a true gentleman and is sorely missed.

Should be mandatory viewing for anyone who is experiencing a down
time in life. A real picker-upper. Recommend reading "Never Die
Easy" - The man, in life and in death, left a legacy which proves you can attain your hopes and desires if you are willing to POSITIVELY direct your energies in that direction. Videos and books regarding the Great Payton must be included with all the masters of "positive thinking" and "goal setting"!

The title says it all.

I watch this video once a week at least. I can't get enough. There is so much footage of "Sweetness" running, blocking, and throwing. Payton personally supervised this project, so it is essentially his autobiography on video. You also hear from Ditka, McMahon, Singletary, and others.

Awesome is the word that sums it up. This is an incredible video on an incredible man. A great testimony on how football should be played and life should be lived.
